Basic Medium Airframe Weight; Anomaly Or Intentional?

A week ago I was discussing in this Steam forum thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/394360/discussions/0/595145802451520924/ A piece of information was discussed that I hadn't considered before; the Weight of the Medium Airframe series. For...

The trend for all Airframes is an increase to the base Weight stat, going up in standardized increments. for the Medium Airframe -(MA) line, it goes up by 2 across models. However due to a typo/oversight, the Basic MA has the same Weight as the Interwar MA, both having a value of 8, but the Improved MA then jumps from 8 to 12, with the Advanced MA and Modern MA both increasing by 2 (14 and 16 respectively). If this trend worked as intended, the Basic MA should have a Weight stat of 10

Gameplay wise, Basic MA are statistically better, by privy of having 2 less weight than they're meant to. The player is better off skipping the Improved MA entirely, and instead stick with Basic MA until the Advanced MA is researched
